Open Aces Fail Hastings
Level 3
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Brian Hastings completed with the 
and got two calls. He picked up another ace on fourth and went with a standard-sized bet, chasing away Yueqi Zhu but leaving him heads up with Eli Berg. Berg paired his starting card by making open sixes on fifth, and that slowed Hastings down. He check-called fifth and sixth.

Berg bet into the dangerous board one more time, and Hastings thought a bit before paying off. Berg showed 
for sixes full of kings.
